WILLIAM RILEY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND PATRICK H. GILLEN, OF SAME PLACE.

TOBACCO-BOX.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 275,944, dated April 17, 1883.

Application filed July 21,1882. (Model) Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views of my new and improved combination tobacco-box. A represents the body of the tobacco-box, which is formed with the notched upright catch 1) and upright plate a; and B represents the cover of the tobacco-box, which is provided with the match-box G and a dice-box, D.

The back of the body A of the tobacco-box is provided with the mirror F, as shown in Fig. 2. The upright plate a is by preference secured to the body A, near one end, and the match-box G is secured to the cover B at one end, as clearly shown in Fig. 1, so that when the cover is closed the plate a will close the match-box, as will be clearly understood from the said figure.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent A tobacco-box having a match-box at the front end, arranged along one side of its top, and the vertical plate a, rising from the end of 35 body, opposite to the match-box, whereby in lifting the front of cover both the tobacco and the matches are simultaneously brought to view and within reach, as described.
